PrepaPlng" for a Lawn. — In order to have a good lawn quickly in a dry 

 soil, the ground must be enriched and well plowed. To avoid weed seeds, this 

 enriching had best be done with ground bone, sown on the furrow, at the rate of 

 eight or ten pounds to the square rod. Along with this, either good wood ashes 

 in about double the quantity, or muriate of potash in the same quantity, is 

 necessary. It is worth taking considerable time and trouble, when preparing to 

 seed, to get the ground level, or evenly graded, as depressions are not only 

 unsightly, but as they collect water they are usually weedy spots. After plowing, 

 harrow well, sow the seed, and *' board down " the surface in the ordinary way 

 in which gardens are smoothed for fine seeds. Then keep off the surface until 

 the grass is large enough to be safely walked upon. — Vick's Magazine.
